I thought Christopher walken made the best headless horseman ever...

As far as the Twilight series is concerned... I had never heard of it before the movie was released and the millions of teenage girls going crazy over it. I don't understand it, but then again, I haven't bothered to see the movie or read the books. The idea of a teenage vampire involved in a romance with a human is less than interesting to me.

I never did watch twilight or read the books..but I do have a teeneage daughter and i had to listen to the dialogue as she watched it likme 12 billion times...
Yeah..I'm not getting into that Angel conversation..ain't that right Tawmis.. I like my points...

The only reason I would like to see a horror Alice movie is because of all the geeky qualities I have...I am a horror geek above all...Books movies and games alike...

Maia, is your desktop from a game?

Yes, yes it is. It is a Guild Wars screenshot. I liked the lighting in the sky at that moment, but, unfortunately, I didn't realise I managed to snap the end of some kind of structure in it.

I am glad they are making it based on the book and not the game as well. I'm sure it will have some darker overtones if it's a Tim Burton movie, but I hope it doesn't become too far removed from the original feel of the books. Of course how they feel to me is probably different than other people.

I took a children's literature course during my undergrad and we studied Alice in Wonderland in it. A number of people in the class quite firmly stated that they felt the book was "very disturbing". I was really surprised. I guess they'd think I'm very disturbing too.

I like the lighting too.

Really, disturbing? That is a little surprising. Or maybe their minds are even more demented.. thinking things we wouldn'tve! ^_^

Part of the problem is that most people are only familiar with the Disney versions of different stories, such as Alice in Wonderland. Fairy tales suffer the same problem. I suppose society feels that the original versions are too "traumatic" for children nowadays and will somehow harm their sensitive fragile minds.

Maybe Odin considers that photo as "thoughtful with Tawmis."

Odin probably considers jumping off the cliff to be away from me!

That's a great photo of you guys, Tawm!

Current desktop, another Guild Wars screenshot.


Time for another visit to digital blasphemy.

GW really does have some beautiful graphics.

New one at work. Squirkers. ^_^

Andrea reminded me of a thread that I had on my personal forum that might be fun to do here... Essentially post your wallpaper on from your machine into this thread to share with folks!

My current one (dual monitors) at home...
